Back to the drawing board.....Importing Excel data into SQL table

  • Have you verified that both named pipes and TCP/IP are configured to allow connections?

    This can be done via the SQL Configuration Manager not The Surface Area Config tool.

  • Named Pipes and TCP/IP are both enabled.

    Named Pipes and TCP/IP are both enabled.

    On both the Client Configuration and the Server configuration? (note that there is a separate branch for each in the Configuration Manager).

  • These are the options in the Configuration Manager:

    * SQL Server 2005 Services

    nothing under this node

    * SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration (32 bit)

    nothing under this node

    * SQL Native Client Configuration (32 bit)

    Client Protocols - Named Pipes and TCP/IP enabled

  • Yes. for both Network and Client Configuration.

  • Create a linked server to the excel file and then query it or insert the contents to another table.

  • How do I create a linked server?

    I've never done that before.

    Thanks.

  • Ummm. This statement:

    Jason (10/8/2008)


    These are the options in the Configuration Manager:

    ...

    * SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration (32 bit)

    nothing under this node

    * SQL Native Client Configuration (32 bit)

    Client Protocols - Named Pipes and TCP/IP enabled

    ... and this statement:

    Jason (10/8/2008)


    Yes. for both Network and Client Configuration.

    ...are contradictory. Which one is correct?

  • Please refer to the below link

  • I sorry.

    The first statement is correct. Only for Client.

    The server configuration does not have anything under this node.

    Jason

  • The server configuration does not have anything under this node.

    Are you running this from your machine or the server?

  • From the server.

  • When you open your services console(start|run|services.msc), do you see any of the following?

    SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)

    SQL Server Active Directory Helper

    SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)

    SQL Server Browser

    SQL Server FullText Search (MSSQLSERVER)

    SQL Server Integration Services

    SQL Server VSS Writer

    In the above list an instance name may replace (MSSQLSERVER)

    If you don't see things from the above list, it's very possible that you have only installed the client tools, not the database engine itself.
